[Mono-list] Port MSSQL implementation as well

[Abe Gillespie]

This post "feels" like a troll ... but I'll bight.

Do some more Googling and you'll find that it's quite easy to swap out
the MSSQL backend for any number of other OS databases.  A few full
ports of various example web apps have been done running either MySQL
or PostgreSQL.

IMO Mono is quite a viable option.
